After a good workout, be that run in the park, a weights session in the gym or power yoga class, there is nothing better than jumping in the bath or shower to freshen up & relax tired muscles. The ideal would actually be to jump in a cold shower first to help prevent any […]

Technology in facials to boost results is something that has been used for decades, I find some of these methods come in and out of vogue but now more than ever a combined of product and machines is the way forward, especially with more and more people wanting to age well but steer clear from […]

When I first started my training many moons ago, the word facialist did not exist. Now, in 2017, it seems widely accepted that a therapist specialising in skin care is a recognised profession (and rightly so!)

Vitamin C is good for collagen production, plumpness, staving off UV […]

Stress is something most of us experience on a daily basis. But how does it actually affect the body and our complexion?  It’s almost impossible to live without some stress in our lives.
